I did post this in the seniors column, but hope I might get more responses from a larger group…

I’m in my mid 50s. Divorced 6 years after a long mostly good marriage.
I’ve been online dating for years now with no luck.
In part its been my own fault—too picky. Not that I wanted to be picky, it was just how I felt.
Now that I feel more open, I’m afraid I’m doomed.
Its mostly the same guys on the dating websites that have also been there for years.
Its not that they’ve asked me out and I’ve rejected them (they have not), its just that they’ve seen me there again and again quite literally for years.
I hear that men only like “high status” women. Obviously a woman who has been looking for a partner for years can’t be high status.
What can I do?
I’m not unattractive physically (men who actually know me have told me that I”m actually ‘hot,’ despite being middle aged), but men in their 50s seem totally uninterested in me.
Help?

If I were you I would try different venues in add’n to online dating, just to keep your options as open and diverse as possible. Don’t give up!!! You sound like a nice person. You’ll find someone! You just need to keep at it and try different approaches!

My own feeling is that there are many more quality women out there than quality men, especially past a certain age, so it’s going to take an effort, but quality guys DO exist. Definitely keep looking and don’t despair!
